[Comprehensive] fog

She didn't have much time for Lin Qing's psychological construction, and she didn't allow herself to waste too much time on being vulnerable.After a few hours of rest, most people had already got up at four o'clock in the morning.

There was a faint light outside, and the insects that had been tossing around for most of the night had receded, and it was unknown whether they were all swallowed by the predators or hid in a dark place.

"Everything is fine, the glass didn't break, some places were hit hard, thanks to the adhesive tape." Dan came over and said, giving Lin Qing a thumbs up.He and Ollie have checked all the glass walls.

"I'll go and see," David whispered.

"Wait." Lin Qing stopped him and said to Amanda: "Honey, can you find someone to take care of Billy? I have something to discuss with you." Amanda nodded and turned to look for Taina Ma'am, she turned her head again:

"It's important. Ollie, is there a quiet place for us to talk about some bad news?"

Dan, Bud, Ollie, Miss Ripley, David, Amanda, were called together by Lin Qing, and then led by Bud into the locker room of the supermarket.

After Bud closed the door, everyone's eyes were on Lin Qing.

Lin Qing looked around at the people in the room, took a deep breath and said, "I called everyone here because I want to discuss with you what we should do next."

This is a heavy topic, and everyone is silent.The day before was busy with anxiety and confusion, and there was no time to think about it.But now, a new day is coming, and the disaster outside does not know how long it will last.How to spend the next days?This has become a pressing issue.

"Outside, there are scary monsters in the mist, whether it's day or night. What we've seen so far, whether it's the giant tentacle monster in the warehouse, or the tall monster that killed... that gentleman, we can't resist. There will also be scary large insects and strange birds that hunt these insects at night. I don’t know how many monsters I have never seen before. I don’t want to try my luck, and I think everyone doesn’t want to.” Lin Qing said seriously: "If everyone agrees with me, I think we have to think about how to persist in the supermarket until rescue arrives."

"How can you be sure there will be rescue?" Bud asked.

"We have a garrison here. When this kind of thing happens, all the radios and signals are gone. The military will soon find that some garrison has lost contact. Moreover, I think this disaster is probably related to the military." Lin Qing deliberately hesitated , said slowly, making a look of uncertainty: "I've been hearing about the military's plan for some time in the town. Before it happened, a black officer came to call the soldiers on vacation ahead of time. Back to the team. There are three in the supermarket now. I guess they should know something, and we can ask them to come and ask privately later."

Dan nodded in agreement with this statement, with an expression of sudden realization on his face: "That's right, I saw a lot of military vehicles passing by me in a hurry before I ran into the supermarket."

David also nodded in approval: "Billy and I also saw a few cars when we came to town."

"You can call Sally to help." Bud thought about it and said, "Sally seems to have a good relationship with one of those soldiers. With her around, he should be able to tell the truth."

It has to be said that although Bard is smooth and sophisticated, his way of thinking is obviously more helpful in this kind of matter.

"If everyone has no opinion, then we will agree?" Amanda showed Lin Qing a smile mixed with approval and comfort, and asked others.

"I agree, stay in the supermarket and wait for rescue." Oli was the first to raise his hand.

"I agree." Miss Ripley nodded bluntly, smiling at Lin Qing approvingly.

"I agree too." David also raised his hand, but his expression was a little anxious.Lin Qing guessed that he was worried about his wife.

"Agree."

"Agree."

People raised their hands in agreement.

"Then it's time for us to consider other issues." Lin Qing slowly let out the breath that had been constricting her chest, she was actually nervous.If David and Ollie insisted on going out like in the plot, then she really didn't know whether to follow them or not.Fortunately, she convinced them.

Everyone looked at Lin Qing intently. Even though Lin Qing was the youngest among these people, this resolute and strong girl has won everyone's trust with her care and prudence.

"First of all, supplies. How many people are there in the supermarket now? How long can our food, drinking water, and daily necessities last? Are the lights enough? I think we need to have a thorough statistics."

Bud nodded: "I can do this. But I need assistance in terms of personnel. David seems to know a lot of people? Come and count the personnel for me." David nodded and said there was no problem.

The first problem is solved.Lin Qing went on to say: "Secondly, safety measures. The glass of the window must be strengthened every day during the day, so that we can sleep peacefully at night. We must also spread it to everyone. Do not put the lights by the windows, and try to turn on the lights at night as little as possible. .In addition to glass, warehouses, and other places, the corners and corners must also be checked. This is our last bastion. If something comes in, none of us can escape."

"I'll do it." Oli promised, "I'm very familiar with these, so I won't miss anything."

"Great. And the most important thing, and what I'm most worried about..." Lin Qing pursed her lips, and her expression became a little worried: "Personnel issues."

"Personnel problem?" Amanda was puzzled.

"That's right." Miss Ripley's eyes were burning, and she repeated Lin Qing's words: "Personnel issues, that's right. I also have Lina's worries."

Under Amanda's puzzled eyes, Dan explained: "For example, Mrs. Carmody. A complete religious fanatic and agitator. She will be happy to exert her influence at this time."

"It's not just her." Lin Qing said: "I am not completely familiar with the people in the town, but I have studied a lot of psychology in college. Faced with such a big change, the fragility of human nature is simply inestimable. Once there is If they are instigators or fuses, they will eagerly support them and follow blindly as if they have grasped at straws.”

"She's right," Dan agreed.

Amanda looked at the others in disbelief. Even if they didn't say anything, there was a look of approval on their faces.She was a little excited: "Don't you believe in human nature?"

"I don't believe it at all." Dan said decisively without hesitation.

"I can't believe it." Amanda was even more excited: "I believe that human nature is good, my God, this is a civilized society! We can't..."

David interrupted her: "Yeah, if the phone worked you could call 911. But now it doesn't work. Leave people in the dark and they'll be scared to death. No laws, you'll see their primal side."

"If Linna hadn't slapped her before to keep her from talking nonsense, she probably already had a few more believers. As long as people are scared enough, they can do anything. As long as someone promises a solution, they will Will follow blindly," said Dan.

Amanda shook her head to express that she couldn't accept it, and she looked around the crowd.The expression on Bud's face showed that he fully agreed with this statement, so Amanda turned to Ollie: "Ollie, please express your thoughts, do you agree with mine?"

"I think so too." Oli lowered his head and said in a low voice, "But we humans are born crazy. If there are more than two people in the same room, we will choose sides and try our best to kill each other. Otherwise How can there be politics and religion."

"He's right," put in Miss Ripley. "The more emotionally unstable people are, the more they will follow her blindly."

"God, that's... so wrong..." Amanda was still shaking her head. "She's just crazy, and I don't like her. Maybe a few people will believe her, but..."

"That's enough. There may be no one on her side yet, but there are already people who are shaking. Day by day, there will be more and more people like this, she keeps walking, maybe there will be a bunch of people in the end Believe her crazy words, will you worry about it at that time?" David also became a little excited, but he tried his best to lower his voice: "Did you hear her words? Blood? Redemption?"

David laughed mockingly: "Who is she going to sacrifice to save everyone? You, Amanda? Or... my son?"

David's aggressiveness made Amanda's tears fall, but Lin Qing saw that she was not completely convinced.

"We don't have to make judgments right away. The matter has just begun. We have enough time to think and prepare. And it's not that we don't trust anyone, we just plan ahead." Lin Qing said reassuringly: "David and Bud will count the personnel first. Come on, Amanda, if you don't want our speculation to become a reality, please help reassure the crowd, especially women, from believing that crazy woman."

Lin Qing paused, then continued: "Besides, I actually thought more pessimistically. Throughout yesterday, although many people were actively coping with all this, more people were in fear and despair. People are crying, and you all heard it. If this atmosphere cannot be changed, sooner or later something cruel will happen."

"Since yesterday, too many tragedies have happened. Lawyer Norton, and the people he brought out, we all know what happened to them. In order to avoid infighting or unnecessary casualties, we must let everyone know There will be help, we will have measures. If everyone is at ease, no one will trust Mrs Carmody."

Amanda finally nodded slowly, agreeing to Lin Qing's words.

"Then let's do it." Bud said first, "I'll go find Sally."
